    America

    The leading cause of death in children and adolescents. Guns overtook RTAs in 2020. Yet you need a license to drive a car. Mind-boggling.

    What are you snobby about?

    Give erythritol a try if you haven't already. It's the closest to sugar that I've tried. And I've tried all of them. It was available in Morrisons the last time I was back in the UK.

    Osti

    He posted this on the Scandinavian Supporters Club facebook page last night: Da har jeg desverre fått beskjed om at sesongen min er over. En strekk i hoftebøyeren. Takk for all support fra dere. Det viktigste ble sikret igår! We are staying up! Translated - So I've unfortunately been told that...

    Jodi

    Poor lad. I was reading the other day about AS Roma, 20 ACLs in 6 seasons between 16 players. The average in Serie A is 0.4 per season so you'd expect 2.4 ACLs over the course of 6 seasons. There was a suspicion that it was the training ground grass but the whole complex was redone last year...

    New Player Incoming - Leo Ostigard

    Yes. Øst/i means east and gård is farm or courtyard. Roughly pronounced uhrst-ee-gord.

    Historical documentaries

    Haha, I spent a month there in 1992! Character forming experience. 8th floor, tiny, no windows.

    GMK

    Yes, The Badger's Den. It got review-bombed, perhaps unsurprisingly, and disappeared. He was convinced it was a certain GMKer and threatened legal action! Idiot.

    Wow. His many alts had run-ins with my many alts on GMK, but I agreed with him on many things too. This is really sad news. He had a good heart. Sleep well mate.

    Cooking Thread

    This is the easiest decent beef stew ever. I use it as a base then add whatever veg/beans I've got. Serve it with buttered mash in the same bowl. As always with stews, it's better the next day. A bit more challenging to make, this is the most chinese-takeaway-style chicken curry I have ever...

    Well, this doesn't look good. This graph in particular:

    London Bridge

    A Star Called Henry by Roddy Doyle. Have a read and get back to me. I used to be one of those 'no surrender' idiots too. The Irish stuff is certainly not black and white.

    Charity direct debits

    The decline of philanthropy and the 'market value' remuneration argument for ceos at charities are concomitant with and, imo, indicative of the overall devaluation of the concept of altruism. Altruism and well-remunerated management positions within charities and NGOs are contradictory. I've...

    Charity direct debits

    I read a book many years ago called 'the origins of virtue' by Matt Ridley (who later became the c**t who fucked up Northern Rock, but that's by the by). It's all about whether or not there is such a thing as 'true altruism'. He argued, convincingly enough for me, that there isn't. There is...
